AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a single treatment that can effectively treat and camouflage scarred skin. The composition cures quickly and requires less frequent use, which encourages higher user compliance rates. Additionally, the invention reduces the frequency with which scar treatment compositions must be applied. The elastomer in the invention cures on the skin to create a substrate or film that compresses scars or wrinkles and facilitates skin treatment.

Problems solved by technology

It is well known that scarring generates negative emotional problems, damaging confidence and self-esteem.

Additionally, depending on scar severity and location, the scar itself may create functional problems for the person, such as restricting movement around the location of the scar or making certain garments unwearable.

Similarly, although perhaps not as emotionally and physically challenging, wrinkles often present a similar problem in that for various reasons they become undesirable features of a person's skin.

Unfortunately, treatment and camouflaging of skin, whether for scars or wrinkles, are frequently treated as separate issues.

Thus, attempts to treat skin are often ill-suited for camouflaging skin and vice versa.

However, scar camouflaging products frequently require application one or more times a day and have a negligible impact on the actual condition of the scar.

Similarly, wrinkles are often camouflaged with make-up, but typically not treated to adequately alleviate the condition.

During this often lengthy treatment regimen, the need to camouflage the skin still exists, yet this need is inadequately met by the prior art.

Furthermore, known skin treatments require daily or almost daily application, which results in diminished user compliance.
